AbstractWe report the application of supervised machine learning to the automated classification of lipid droplets in label-free, quantitative-phase images. By comparing various machine learning methods commonly used in biomedical imaging and remote sensing, we found convolutional neural networks to outperform others, both quantitatively and qualitatively. We describe our imaging approach, all machine learning methods that we implemented, and their performance in computational requirements, training resource needs, and accuracy. Overall, our results indicate that quantitative-phase imaging coupled to machine learning enables accurate lipid droplet classification in single living cells. As such, the present paradigm presents an excellent alternative of the more common fluorescent and Raman imaging modalities by enabling label-free, ultra-low phototoxicity and deeper insight into the thermodynamics of metabolism of single cells.Author SummaryRecently, quantitative-phase imaging (QPI) has demonstrated the ability to elucidate novel parameters of cellular physiology and metabolism without the need for fluorescent staining. Here, we apply label-free, low photo-toxicity QPI to yeast cells in order to identify lipid droplets (LDs), an important organelle with key implications in human health and biofuel development. Because QPI yields low specificity, we explore the use of modern machine learning methods to rapidly identify intracellular LDs with high discriminatory power and accuracy. In recent years, machine learning has demonstrated exceptional abilities to recognize and segment objects in biomedical imaging, remote sensing, and other areas. Trained machine learning classifiers can be combined with QPI within high-throughput analysis pipelines, allowing for efficient and accurate identification and quantification of cellular components. Non-invasive, accurate and high-throughput classification of these organelles will accelerate research and improve our understanding of cellular functions with beneficial applications in biofuels, biomedicine, and more.

Abstract INTRODUCTION New non-invasive technologies for improving early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) are demanded by clinicians. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) provides sub-surface structural information and offers diagnosis capabilities of colon polyps, further improved by machine learning methods. Databases of OCT images are necessary to facilitate algorithms development and testing. MATERIALS AND METHODS A database has been acquired from rat colonic samples with a Thorlabs OCT system with 930nm centre wavelength that provides 1.2KHz A-scan rate, 7μm axial resolution in air, 4μm lateral resolution, 1.7mm imaging depth in air, 6mm x 6mm FOV, and 107dB sensitivity. The colon from anaesthetised animals has been excised and samples have been extracted and preserved for ex-vivo analysis with the OCT equipment. RESULTS This database consists of OCT 3D volumes (C-scans) and 2D images (B-scans) of murine samples from: 1) healthy tissue, for ground-truth comparison (18 samples; 66 C-scans; 17,478 B-scans); 2) hyperplastic polyps, obtained from an induced colorectal hyperplastic murine model (47 samples; 153 C-scans; 42,450 B-scans); 3) neoplastic polyps (adenomatous and adenocarcinomatous), obtained from clinically validated Pirc F344/NTac-Apcam1137 rat model (232 samples; 564 C-scans; 158,557 B-scans); and 4) unknown tissue (polyp adjacent, presumably healthy) (98 samples; 157 C-scans; 42,070 B-scans). CONCLUSIONS A novel extensive ex-vivo OCT database of murine CRC model has been obtained and will be openly published for the research community. It can be used for classification/segmentation machine learning methods, for correlation between OCT features and histopathological structures, and for developing new non-invasive in-situ methods of diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
